Thu, 05 Jul 2007 08:43:57 +0000. I am the manager of a backpackers hostel in Barranco, Lima. Once again I would like to stongly suggest everyone arriving in Lima to prebook your airport transfer with your accommodation! The 'official' airport taxi business is close to mafia.
How long can or does the HIV virus remain dormant in the Human Body before it becomes AIDS virus? For the majority of patients who have HIV, the dormancy period lasts about 10 years. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients progress to having AIDS within 5 years. It is estimated that another 5 percent to 10 percent of patients will not reach the AIDS phase for more than 15 years.
Q: How long can people infected with HIV expect to live? In the early days of the epidemic, the answer would have been simple--and hard to take. After becoming infected with HIV, people could expect to get AIDS within about 10 years, and then live only 1 to 2 years more. But things have changed dramatically since then.ith proper medical care, people with HIV can expect to live much longer now than they could 20 years ago. We still can't tell exactly how long because many of the medications and tests have been around only for 15 years or less, and people are living longer than that.
